I currently have the original Droid from Motorola. I'm thinking of getting a Thunderbolt, but I don't want any unpleasant surprises. All my contacts are set up in Gmail, complete with photos. Can I set up my Gmail account in Thunderbolt and get the complete contact info on the phone? Some phones have really sucky…

VZW Rep told me that Thunderbolt is NOT getting the 2.3 update?!
I spoke with a VZW tech rep today, and he told me that the Thunderbolt is not on the list of phones to get the update! Is this true?
Using Skype on Thunderbolt
One of the cool things with the Thunderbolt was that it had two cameras-perfect for making video calls via Skype. I've seen it done on a friend's Iphone. Imagine my disappointment when Skype Mobile doesn't work on the HTC. Is there any other way to make video calls, then having to wait for Skype to provide a working…

When I send smileys my recepients only receives the stick smileys, or blank box. Same when people send them to me, unless its from another smartphone. I had a dare before the HTC Thunderbolt, and used them all the time with no problems. Does anyone have any info on this? I've tried different messaging apps.

Thunderbolt HTC Sense Weather/Location Not working
All of a sudden in the last few days, my weather widget on the homepage, I believe this is the HTC Weather/Clock widget is not reading my location. It just states "Current Location" instead of "Pensacola" like it did last week and all the days before. Sometime it will show weather and sometime it won't. 1) I've tried…
I DON'T WANT YOUR UPDATE! How do I stop it?
I had a working TB. I did the OTA update on 7/10, and that's when my TB stopped working correctly. Phone support sent me to the store to get a new SIM card and the guy at the store ordered me a replacement phone because NOBODY could figure out what was wrong with the stupid thing, and nobody had yet heard of any issues…
My rant which only serves to release some of my own frustration.
I am finding that posting to this or HTC's forum is really just an exercise in futility. Both companies (Verizon and HTC) know the Thunderbolt is plagued with "glitches" and problems that CUSTOMERS shouldn't be suffering this long with. Long time posters, whether they believe it or not, off times spout the company line,…

Thunderbolt and Customer Service
I've been with Alltel/Verizon for a few years now and I must say today I am very disappointed with this company. I decided to upgrade to the thunderbolt, but the day after I received it I had to leave for Arizona. So on my way out I did my best to check out the phone, knowing about the 14 day window. As I traveled into the…
Check For Software Update Question
I don't think this is a problem, but up until this morning, every time I tapped on Software update/Check new, I would get the message Checking for new software available, then I would get one of two messages. Either No software update available, or a message like No connection available. Since this morning, I get the…

Impression of HTC Thunderbolts vs the Motorola Droid X
This is just a opinion from using the device for about a week since I received it since (07-16-2011) 10pm.. * Camera Quality In comparison I can openly say that the Thunderbolt has a great quality on the camera compared to the images that I could get from the Droid X, now don’t get me wrong because the Droid X wasn’t a bad…
1.70.605.0 update w/desktop cradle app
The thunderbolt update on verizon's website says that a desktop cradle app is now available to view the clock in landscape. After the update the desktop cradle is not in my list of apps and I can't find it on the market. Does anyone know if the desktop cradle was actually apart of the update?
T-Bolt will not go to sleep fully - found out why
A few days ago, I discovered that my Thunderbolt would dim its screen but not fully sleep its screen (go dark). You could force the sleep mode with the button on top. I had received the latest software update on Monday night and thought that was it. I had two calls to Tier 2 tech support before we did a complete factory…
Thunderbolt updates do more harm than good
When I got the Thunderbolt on the release date I was lucky enough to get a phone that was functioning perfectly. I didn't have any connection or reboot errors that were being reported from launch. Then came the first update a few months ago...suddenly my phone starts to reboot itself 3+ times a day and dropping phone calls…

Still no update on thunderbolt
I have been checking ever since the update was released but all I would get was a service unavailable message. I have tried switching to 3G and 1x but none work. Now, a few days after the 18th, the searching for update box just goes away without any message. Does any one know what to do?
Facebook Mobile problem on Thunderbolt
Someone recently loaded Facebook mobile on my phone so that I could "check in" to places. Ever since then, the phone has not stopped beeping at me. The only way I can get it to stop is to disable the sound on Notifications. I don't want to do that, because then I don't know when I get a text message. How do I fix this…
Ginger Bread doesn't necessarily mean Sense 3.0
Ginger Bread doesn't necessarily mean Sense 3.0 I think people are seeing sense 3.0 and confusing it with GB 2.3.4 Most likely won't be in the OEM GB release possibly an addon ?? but you will most likely have to root to get any Sense 3.0 features.
